The microwave range includes ultra-high frequency (UHF) (0.3–3 GHz),
super high frequency (SHF) (3–30 GHz), and extremely high frequency
(EHF) (30–300 GHz) signals.

Comments and suggestions
1. Klystron is very hot and the high voltage (~300V) is applied
to repeller.
2. You have to do 6 (!) experiment in one Lab session – take
care about time management. The most time consuming
experiment is the “Bragg diffraction”.
3. Do not put on the tables any extra stuff – this will cause
extra reflections of microwaves and could result in
smearing of the data.
4. This is two weeks experiment but the equipment for the
week 2 will be different. Please finish all week 1
measurements until the end of this week
Good luck !
